Commitment to Queen’s Park Rangers may seem like a daunting prospect but I think we have found what epitomises loyalty to a Club.

It was a difficult decision given the magnificent Season the lads have had but despite all the nominations we eventually had a clear winner. A number of offers were kindly made … Continue reading →
